No Power!

1989 f-350 w/ 460 and 5spd has no power. Been over 20k miles since last tune-up and been doing some heavy towing. Time for a tune up or is something up. Pulling hills I pulled loaded in 4th and having to go to 3rd empty is gettin old!

Tune up wouldn't hurt, and be sure to check your timing. I messed mine up before I knew about the spout connector and got it too far retarded. gutless as hell. Mine is a 351 and I bumped it up to about 15 degrees before and it made a very noticable difference.

Your cats also might be clogged. It's very common on these trucks.
